Turn an £8 Foam Glider into a Real RC Plane! (Beginner DIY Build) Lidl Easy Rider build blog

My Lidl Easy Rider Trainer is now finished. It's my no 16 big Lidl build, my first high wing design and it flies like a dream. Quick build blog here, and full maiden is linked at the end.

Didn't take long to build, trickiest part is hot glueing the top wing on and getting if lined up in 3 planes, but you have time to position it as the glue sets. The intention was zero zero with the slot in the fusi. It's my first green Lidl, this years colour, though I wouldn't recommend green for a beginner plane as it's not very easy to spot when you accidentally put it in the bushes! (Crash 😉)

If you search Playtive glider, you'll find them. They were just £7.99 in Lidl but they're only in the stores once a year. And that was a couple of weeks ago! I've seen them on E Bay. It came out at 250g.
